So that LibertyLondonGirl book that I was telling you about– it’s so great. I really like the recipes more than the lifestyle aspect of it. Yes, she covers some of the best places around the world to pick up gifts for friends, elegant champagne bars, and the best department stores, but really how often […]

Butternut & Sage sauce on rotini
I’m on nights this week. That’s part of the problem with eating well in this house. We’re either working opposite hours or odd times and sometimes it’s really difficult to get motivated to make a meal for one person. Tonight’s recipe comes from one of my go to blogs CupofJo.com and can be found HERE! […]
Apple Cake
Have you seen Chef’s Table on Netflix? Oh man! It’s so good and so interesting if you’re into learning about some of the most high profile restaurants in the world. It profiles the chef behind the restaurant and highlights some of their inspirations and their ideas about food and eating. I very much recommend it. […]
Two sides in this story
That’s right. The following post contains the recipes for two side dishes from two different cookbooks. Ha! Dad jokes aside, I was struggling to find something to make for dinner tonight. I went out for lunch (all you can eat sushi) and by the time I got home it was after 3pm and I still […]
Sausage, beet & carrot
I like meals that fit into one bowl. That’s probably because I eat standing up so frequently and it’s much easier to hold a bowl than a big plate. There’s a perfectly good table here, but I eat and wander around the house. This dish fits perfectly into a bowl and is easy to eat while […]
Endive is just not good
I wanted to like endive. I wanted to give it another shot after that brutal salad. Mostly, I wanted to get the remaining endive I’d bought to make that salad out of my fridge. I really tried to like it, but I’ve come to understand that endive is not for me. Maybe you like it? […]
Whiskey Salted Caramel Cinnamon Rolls
How could they be bad? Whiskey – good. Salted caramel – good. Cinnamon – good. They’re all good by themselves, never mind together. Well they were pretty damn delicious, but they were a pain in the ass to make and they’re quite time consuming, let me tell you! The recipe is from Food52 and can […]
A night out and a new cookbook
I told you I had a problem. I went out for dinner and bought a new cookbook on my way to the restaurant. The new addition is Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook. I already have one of her earlier books and *shockingly*, I’ve never made anything from it! It was all a little too…fussy. This book seems different. […]
A spicy rice(y) thing
If it weren’t for bacon, I think I could be a vegetarian. Okay, bacon and the occasional steak. And maybe the odd roast chicken. But really, at the end of the day (when all’s said and done), I far prefer grains and veggies. I mention this because the following meal has no meat, except for […]
Apple endive and ginger salad
It’s gross outside. Rain all morning and now we have snow. I decided that I would spend the majority of the day cleaning and organizing, but when that was finished (YES!!) I was trying to find some way to spend my day other than watching hours and hours of Netflix. Normally, I would bake, but […]
